Almost My Birthday

Since my birthday falls on a Saturday, people at school decided to celebrate it today. I got loads of birthday punches and my arms still hurt. One thing you should know: never wear just a short sleeve tee to school on your birthday, not enough padding.

I didn’t expect so many people to say hi to me. I was actually in a rush sometimes because people were trying to punch me. It was a lot of fun.

The best present, after my Les Paul, was the one from my friends Tanzia and Tasfia. They kept telling me about some present they were gonna give me. When I finally got it, it was a little bundle of something soft wrapped in some desi wrapping paper. When I opened it up, there were three boxers inside and the waists said, “I’m A Big Boy Now.” I knew I couldn’t take them home but they had forgotten, though. We decided that all we could do was play around with the things and throw them out.

I also recieved that piece of a painting I had claimed from Meg Scheminske. I’m happy that it arrived just in time for my birthday.

Speaking of birthdays, why do all those girls who turn 15 on that MTV show seem like way older than me? Staged, I presume?
